Megumi's POV

"-pay attention to the exit of the train, and for the rest of the passengers a continuation of a good journey"

"See you later Itadori" I say, standing up calmly and returning the headphone to the colored-haired boy sitting next to me.
He smiled, watching as I got up. Today he seemed sadder... I can't explain it... After that day he seemed okay, I mean, he was still faking his calm and happiness but at least he didn't seem so broken...but today it seemed that he was trying harder to look okay, he was playing with his fingers too much in an anxious way and he didn't even hummed along when his favorite song started playing on the headphones that we both shared...

"We'll meet in the usual place?"

I nod my head getting a smile from my friend and making my way out of the train and towards the school.

It's been 3 months since we went out together for the first time. Nothing much happened after that incident with the strange man, at least as far as I know.

Itadori and I became closer, we went out sometimes and after college we usually meet by the lake to go home together. I found out that his apartment is a couple of streets above mine, close to a church next to the station, unlike Junpei's apartment that was on the other side...

Although I still don't know much about him...

I mean I know that he has a twin brother named Sukuna, with whom he has a complicated relationship and his parents who live on another continent.

Besides that, I don't know anything else... I would like to know more things, like what happened to him to move here and leave his family, or how he got those scars or where did he know that man from... But I don't think I have the right to ask him these questions, after all we are not that close... Unfortunately...

~~~

The classes were boring as usual, just ignoring the teachers and Kugisaki and thinking about my problems and Itadori. But the worst part of the day was when I arrived at the lake and didn't find my cheerful friend.

Did something happen? He looked bad this morning. I shouldn't have ignored that.

I take the phone out of my backpack and look for his number in my contacts.

It doesn't take long to find it since yesterday afternoon he called me to tell me about the new movie he saw.

Calling "Yuji"

After a while of ringing a message came

"The contact you called, is not available at the moment, please leave a message after the sign..."~"heyy here is Itadori Yuji, if I didn't answer I'm probably busy but try again or send me a message because I won't listen to voicemails, byeeee"

I sigh and hang up the phone in anger. He always gets here before me. I even tried to go looking for him at the cafe but the lady who usually attends us said that no one saw him there...It's been 30 minutes so I decide to call the only person we both know.

"Hey Junpei how are you?"

"I'm okay, what happened? You never call me. Is everything okay?"
